Abdulla Albaroudi
I'm an Associate Landscape Architect with eight years of experience across studios in the UK and the Middle East. At HKS Architects I worked as a Project Landscape Designer on large-scale international projects — masterplans, mixed-use developments, and public realm schemes where BIM wasn't optional, it was the infrastructure the entire project team operated on.
Working in the Middle East meant navigating some of the most demanding BIM environments in the profession — multi-disciplinary teams across different countries, strict LOD requirements, federated models coordinating landscape, architecture, structure, and MEP simultaneously. That experience shaped how I think about Revit: not as a drawing tool, but as a live data environment that connects your design decisions to the rest of the project.
Throughout my career I've introduced Revit and BIM workflows to every practice I've worked in — training teams from the ground up, building office standards, and helping landscape architects work more confidently in collaborative environments. LA-BIM is built on what I wish had existed when I was starting out: a Revit curriculum written by a landscape architect, for landscape architects.
